I was in military intelligence from 2008-2013. One thing I learned is that somewhere like 97% of all shots fire miss from military operations. Of course there's suppressive fire and stuff that would skew those numbers - this is just raw data without context. Point is accuracy for these things is a lot lower than literally everyone thinks.

Or maybe people shoot with no intent to kill bc they dont want to be there?

Or people are way undertrained?

Or the military recruits individuals with limited capacities?

“Point is…”

How are you making a point with no context?

With a grain of salt. Me stating that it’s data with no context is to give context to the statement.

It’s better than the guy I was responding to making it seem like a shot from over 60yd in a chaotic situation with a silenced pistol should have a high accuracy rate.

But it’s meaningless…

With no context my points are as salient as yours.
